Best of San Diego Comic-Con 2011 – Buzzy Fret

Howdy, AFP viewers!

I’m finally back from San Diego Comic-Con 2011, slowly recovering from jet-lag, and making an attempt to kick start my travel-addled brain to give you my picks for Best of SDCC 2011!

3) DC Universe Classics Wave 19 Hawkman has his hooded head as a Pack-In!

DCUC wave 19 (12)

See it there, hiding behind Hawkman’s mace?

I had completely missed this at the show, and it wasn’t mentioned in either of the Mattel panels I was able to attend. It wasn’t until I got home and a friend pointed it out that I saw it. I’m incredibly happy that Mattel decided to make this Hawkman with swappable heads, as I’m not a fan of the “full beaked” mask. This improves DCUC 19 a hundred-fold for me.

Hot Toys Indiana Jones Preview Pics

As promised in their Indiana Jones tease from about 10 days ago, here’s the Hot Toys reveal of the Raiders of the Lost Ark MMS. For the alternate costume, it’s his costume from the map room. Tons of accessories, and I think it’s pretty cool they’ve got the idol and bag of sand in there!

Dear Fans, one day to go for the public opening of our highly anticipated 10th Anniversary Exhibition at Tokyo!

We’ve just celebrated with the industrial leaders and friends at the private party!

As promised, the greatly expected MMS DX Indiana Jones Collectible Figure from the Indiana Jones – Raiders of the Lost Ark movie, a project collaborated with Sideshow Collectibles, is first unveiled here! Here’re photos taken at the event for our fans! Hope you’d like them!

Let’s share the joy with us & have a wonderful Christmas!

Toys for Tots Auctions – CoolToyReview.com

CoolToyReview has a set of auctions for some rare toy collectibles that will directly benefit Toys for Tots. Canonball recently did a similar auction – see Turning $20.00 into $175.00 for Toys for Tots for more info on that – and it’s a great idea. Toys get into the hands of collectors who are on the hunt, and Toys for Tots (or your favorite charity) get more than the value of the actual collectible. Everyone wins!

Here’s the CTR items:

The auctions end between December 23 and 25th – click through and bid them up!

Hot Toys Indiana Jones – Raiders of the Lost Ark Teaser

Wow. This is great timing for this announcement. With Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in heavy cable rotation right now, I’ve been jonesing (honestly, no pun intended) for some Indy toys. With the DX designation, I think it means we’ll be getting a PERS (parallel eyeball rolling system) version of Indy, with a ton of accessories too.

DX also usually means multiple outfits – I wonder if we’ll see an Egyptian or Nazi outfit.

Throw me the idol! I’ll throw you the whip!
